The French Riviera resort of Cannes is the latest popular destination to crack down on cruise ship numbers.
From the start of 2026, ships accommodating more 1,000 guests will be banned from Cannes harbour.
And there will be an additional limit of 6,000 passengers per day allowed to visit the city, news hub Travel Mole reports.
Larger ships are not totally banned from visiting, but will have to tender further out at sea.
This is already the case for some of the largest ships now as the old port cannot accommodate the largest vessels.
The Cannes city council voted for new limits following the introduction of similar restrictions in nearby Nice and Villefranche.
“Cannes has become a major cruise ship destination, with real economic benefits," said Mayor David Lisnard.
"It’s not about banning cruise ships, but about regulating and setting guidelines for their navigation.”
